Does the name sound familiar? If not, some of the songs will. Howard Jones, who turns 57 today, was a MAJOR pop star in the 80s in both his native UK and the US and had a string of successful songs and albums... then went away. He was a major influence in synth-pop often combining the New Wave sound with an optimistic, 60s feel. Jones bombarded the charts with classic 80s hits like What is Love, New Song, Things Can Only Get Better, No One Is To Blame, Everlasting Love and Life in One Day. Howard still tours and records when he feels like it, but mostly we can remember him by his wonderful 80s hits. Here are some of them for you. Happy B-day, Howard!Thursday, February 23, 2012
